Hi.. I am new to perl but I know there is a simple solution of the problem I am stating below. I am searching for a text pattern in mutliple files of a folder , once I find it I need to parse it in a variable and write it as a header in an excel file. Please somebody help

Thanks

Sam

This will make a fake .xls (really a tab delimited file, but Excel will handle it just fine) based on the contents of *.files. You can specify multiple files or whatever (it's all handled by the -n option) if you want.

It is possible to write out a proper Excel file, but you'll need to install a separate module.
